Will the next Bill Gates be from India?

The next Bill Gates is more likely to be lurking in Asia -- in China, Japan or India, in that order -- than in America, according to a new poll released by Zogby International and 463 Communications.

However, higher-income Americans ($100,000 salary and above) were more bullish about American prospects, listing the US first (27.6 per cent), followed by India (25.9 per cent) and then China (23.1), suggesting those higher up the economic ladder saw almost as much promise in India as in the US and China.
